BB
Will I get nervous before my take, outside the club in Silver Lake
G# minorG#m
And there's no mistaking your perfect practice innocence
E minorEm
I just start talking, you can see that I'm
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Not gonna to lie to you
BB
And this folk music's fucking me up, make's me think I should quit
E MajorE
Maybe I'm just scared of it
Quick hit and a flip of a Zippo
Inhale and your eyes squint
C# minorC#m
You point at me with a cigarette finger, say you find some good shit
E MajorE
In the ruins
BB
But deep down
I'm not sold on what we're doing
Deep down
I think you're seething with ambition

Like everyone else around, you're on a mission
E MajorE
To see just how many likes you can get
Get your fingers wet
C# minorC#m
And have the people watch you rub a freeze

G# minorG#m
There's no growing in the dark
E MajorE

So here we go
BB
A augmentedA same old itch
The air's meant to protect myself
G# minorG#m

I want to be
A augmentedA daring one
G# minorG#m
No more songs about being cozy and bored

Don't sing about the suburbs
And how you miss the scent of home
C# minorC#m
An Elliot Smith clone's all you'll be
And miss all this urgency
BB
And everyone needs to be seen
G# minorG#m
There's no growing in the dark
E MajorE
It's just a pose, well, what's wrong with a pose
We all invent ourselves as we go
C#7C#7
So here we go

I look for you outside, after the show
C# minorC#m
I look for you again
BB
And I'll go with you 'cause I kinda love you
G# minorG#m
If I see you again
I think I'm gonna kill you
E MajorE
'Cause we'll keep doing this
C# minorC#m
Waiting around for someone who doesn't want me
To want me
BB
I've been looking longingly at the scene
